Ashley Collins Amerfican, b. 1967
The Emerald City
The Emerald Isles.
The ancient Egyptians had what was known as Cleopatras
mines, solely to obtain emeralds which were believed to lead to immortality and
love.
The ancient Greeks and Romans, attributed Emeralds to the
Goddess Venus/Afrodite, most known for love, beauty and fertility.
In current spirituality, Emeralds are associated with the
Heart Chakra, emotional balance compassion and unconditional love.
All this from a simple rock.
For Collins this simple rock is a metaphor for a greater
truism
‘How we view the World is what our World Becomes.’
So if you thought and Emerald was just another rock, you
would miss out on the above history and magical and mystical powers, you would
never learn that an Emerald is composed microscopically of six silica rings of
six sides. You would never know they
were proctors against poison and evil, and reduced strain on the eyes.
Because you thought it was simply a rock.
If you believe our World is magical, and that nature is
astounding, then that is the World you will live in. One of beauty and wonder, and joy.
The horse is leaving the darker blue entering into an
infinite light.
Join the horses journey and step into the magic of life.
